Mitchell Robinson Cleared To Play Saturday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson will be available for Saturday’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks, having been listed as questionable earlier in the day due to a heel injury. Robinson has seen his playing time take a dive over the last few weeks, as the rookie big man has struggled to stay out of […]

Elie Okobo Scores Nine Points In Second Start

Phoenix Suns point guard Elie Okobo shifted into the starting lineup for Friday’s loss to the Orlando Magic, scoring nine points and snatching four rebounds across 29 minutes. The rookie was thrust into starting duty due to the injury to Devin Booker, who has become the team’s de facto point guard since the release of […]

Jamal Crawford Pours In Season-High 18 Points Off Bench

Phoenix Suns shooting guard Jamal Crawford played a season-high 31 minutes during Friday’s loss to the Orlando Magic, stepping in to score 18 points off the bench with both Devin Booker and T.J. Warren sidelined. Phoenix needed to recreate their offensive firepower in the aggregate Friday, and while it didn’t yield the same results, it […]

Trevor Ariza Contributes Across Board In 34 Minutes

Phoenix Suns small/power forward Trevor Ariza continues to log rosterable minutes, finishing Friday’s loss to the Orlando Magic with 10 points, four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 34 minutes. Despite the Suns playing short-handed Friday, Ariza didn’t force up shot attempts, finishing with only six. The fact that he is shooting a career-worst […]

Deandre Ayton Scores Team-High 19 Points

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton wasted little time in responding from his four-point outing earlier in the week, delivering a 19-point performance against the Orlando Magic in a loss Friday. Unfortunately, that caveat came with a season-low six rebounds, as his back-up, Richaun Holmes, snagged nine. With both Devin Booker and T.J. Warren out Friday, […]

Josh Jackson Takes Team-High 21 Shot Attempts

Phoenix Suns small forward Josh Jackson stepped into the role of primary scorer for Friday’s game against the Orlando Magic and finished 5-for-21 from the field overall. Jackson logged a season-high 38 minutes with both Devin Booker and T.J. Warren sidelined for the contest. The second-year wing finished with 10 points, nine rebounds and seven […]

D.J. Augustin Finishes With 16 Points In Victory

Orlando Magic point guard D.J. Augustin finished with 16 points and six assists during Friday’s win over the Phoenix Suns. Getting his first chance to be a full-time starter since the 2011-12 season, Augustin is showing that he has some solid value if you find yourself thin at the point spot. In addition to shooting […]

Evan Fournier Scuffles From Field In Win

Orlando Magic shooting guard/small forward Evan Fournier went just 2-for-8 from the floor during Friday’s win over the Phoenix Suns. He finished with seven points, five rebounds and four assists, but there’s a more concerning trend at hand: Fournier is shooting just 30.9 percent from the field over his last five games, in which he […]

Terrence Ross Lights It Up For 21 Points Off Bench

Orlando Magic shooting guard Terrence Ross stayed aggressive coming off the bench during Friday’s win over the Phoenix Suns, finishing with 21 points on seven of 15 shooting. Make that five consecutive games in double figures for Ross, who can score in bunches when he catches fire. Despite the positives his scoring outburst showed, he […]

Aaron Gordon Scores 18 Points After Being Questionable

Orlando Magic small/power forward Aaron Gordon’s status was up in the air until shortly before game time against the Phoenix Suns on Friday, but he ultimately suited up and delivered an 18-point, six-rebound performance. Consider this a solid bounce back outing for Gordon, who delivered a scoreless flop against Golden State earlier in the week. […]

Nikola Vucevic Turns In Monster Double-Double

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic led the charge for his team against the Phoenix Suns on Friday, finishing with 25 points and 15 rebounds, just his second such game reaching those figures this season. It’s shaping up to be a career year for Vucevic in many ways, as he is averaging career highs in scoring […]

Cody Zeller Plays Just Seven Minutes In Loss

Charlotte Hornets center Cody Zeller exited Friday’s loss to the Utah Jazz after just seven minutes due to a rib contusion that prevented him from returning. His absence didn’t exactly boost Frank Kaminsky to the point of relevancy, with head coach James Borrego instead opting for smaller lineups with Marvin Williams at the center spot. […]

Tony Parker Plays Season-High 33 Minutes

Charlotte Hornets point guard Tony Parker logged a season-high 33 minutes during Friday’s loss to the Utah Jazz, scoring 20 points and adding nine assists off the bench. Despite the outburst, Parker is truly only a fantasy asset in deeper leagues, but it’s worth keeping tabs on to see if he cuts into Kemba Walker […]

Marvin Williams Records Second Double-Double Of Year

Charlotte Hornets power forward Marvin Williams delivered his second double-double of the season Friday against the Utah Jazz. For Williams, it marks his second double-double in the span of a week, finishing with 15 points and 11 rebounds against the Jazz, knocking down a trio of three-pointers just one game after going scoreless for the […]

Nicolas Batum Fails To Record An Assist

Charlotte Hornets shooting guard/small forward Nicolas Batum logged 31 minutes during Friday’s loss to the Utah Jazz, he just failed to do much with it. His performance Friday marks the first time Batum has failed to record an assist in a game since Nov. 17, 2015. He finished with six points on 3-of-5 shooting, tossing […]

Jeremy Lamb Scores Season-High 24 Points

Charlotte Hornets shooting guard Jeremy Lamb delivered a season-high 24 points on 10-for-18 shooting during Friday’s loss to the Utah Jazz. Make that three consecutive 20-point showings for Lamb, who has blossomed into one of the fantasy darlings of the first quarter of the season. He’s averaging a career-best 15.4 points per game through his […]

Kemba Walker Scuffles From Deep In Loss

Charlotte Hornets point guard Kemba Walker finished Friday’s loss to the Utah Jazz with 21 points on 9-for-17 shooting, but went just 1-for-6 from deep. Getting strong looks against the Jazz can be tough but mark that down as the second consecutive 1-for-6 performance from three-point range for Walker. He entered the night leading the […]

Cavaliers Romped During Cedi Osman’s Time On Court

Cleveland Cavaliers small forward Cedi Osman was quiet from the field during Friday’s loss to the Boston Celtics, but it was his minus-39 night while on the floor that was loud. Certainly the Cavaliers getting clobbered by Boston can’t fall solely on Osman’s shoulders, but he finished 2-for-8 from the floor -- including 1-for-6 from […]

Jordan Clarkson Finishes With 16 Points Off Bench

Cleveland Cavaliers point/shooting guard Jordan Clarkson delivered his usual aggressive offensive performance during Friday’s loss to the Boston Celtics, finishing with 16 points on 5-for-14 shooting. He knocked down a trio of triples, marking the first time this season he has made at least three threes in back-to-back contests. Owners certainly aren’t expecting much else […]

Alec Burks Scores 15 Points In Cavaliers Debut

Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard Alec Burks made a splash in his first game with his new team, scoring 15 points off the bench. To top off his night, he added a season-high six rebounds and four assists, proving that if he gets enough run, he’s worth a look in season-long formats. Cleveland has all the […]

Larry Nance Jr. Quiet Offensively Over 31 Minutes

Cleveland Cavaliers power forward/center Larry Nance Jr. logged 31 minutes during Friday’s loss to the Boston Celtics, which is a positive moving forward. Unfortunately, he took just three shots and finished with seven points and five rebounds, which is a bit disconcerting moving forward. So few shot attempts aren’t a new phenomenon for Nance, but […]

Collin Sexton Continues High-Volume Output

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Collin Sexton continued firing up shots during Friday’s loss to the Boston Celtics, finishing with 15 points on 6-for-18 shooting. Make that six consecutive games for Sexton in which he has taken at least 17 shots. If usage rate is your cup of tea, there aren’t many better options that are […]

Tristan Thompson Delivers Double-Double In Defeat

Cleveland Cavaliers center Tristan Thompson rebounded with a strong performance during Friday’s loss to the Boston Celtics, finishing with 13 points and 12 rebounds. His 11th double-double of the season comes on the heels of his season-low two-rebound performance Wednesday, gaining back the trust of owners with his fifth double-double in the last six games. […]

Marcus Morris Scores 15 Points In Victory

Boston Celtics power forward Marcus Morris scored 15 points while drawing his fourth start of the season during Friday’s win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Morris went 2-for-4 from deep, bringing his mark up to 43.4 percent overall on the season, which would be far and away a new career high. In many ways, the move […]

Marcus Smart Fills Stat Sheet In Start

Boston Celtics point/shooting guard Marcus Smart was all over the board during Friday’s win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, finishing with 12 points, seven assists, three rebounds and three steals, even adding a pair of triples as he drew the start in place of the injured Jaylen Brown. While he didn’t see the same 40-minute workload […]

Jayson Tatum Logs Just 20 Minutes In Win

Boston Celtics small/power forward Jayson Tatum scored 13 points and snatched four rebounds during Friday’s win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. While Tatum was aggressive to the tune of 12 shot attempts, he played just 20 minutes in the blowout win, severely hampering his fantasy evening. His performance Friday was emblematic of the plight that comes […]

Gordon Hayward Scores 14 Points Off Bench

Boston Celtics small forward Gordon Hayward led his bench unit with 14 points during Friday’s win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. He also added four rebounds and four assists for solid contributions, but even with Jaylen Brown absent Friday, he played fewer than 30 minutes for the third consecutive game. Leading the Boston bench unit seems […]

Aron Baynes Nearly Posts Double-Double In Start

Boston Celtics center Aron Baynes moved into the starting lineup for Friday’s win over the Cleveland Cavaliers and finished with 10 points and nine rebounds across 23 minutes. Baynes became a golden DFS play with Al Horford out due to rest, but even with his strong performance against Cleveland, it’s probably best to leave Baynes […]

Kyrie Irving Pours In 29 Points In 27 Minutes

Boston Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving filled up the scoring column during Friday’s win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, finishing with 29 points on 11-for-15 shooting, including five made threes, across just 27 minutes of action. The slight minutes dip can be attributed to the convincing victory Boston delivered, but that didn’t seem to affect Irving’s […]

Terrence Ross Attempts Team-High 16 Shots

Orlando Magic shooting guard/small forward Terrence Ross had a perpetual green light during Wednesday’s loss to the Portland Trail Blazers, firing up 16 shots in his 26 minutes on the court. A pair of threes clanked off the rim in the final minute in an attempt to bring his team back, as he finished with […]
